Zenyatta, Blame lead Eclipse finalists

The Eclipse Awards will be announced on Monday, Jan. 17. The most highly anticipated one of them all is the coveted Horse of the Year. The sentimental choice, of course, would be Zenyatta, who ran a gutty race in the Breeders’ Cup Classic only to fall by a head to Blame.

Blame is the favorite to win the award.

Blame, Zenyatta and the marvelous Goldikova, who won her third straight Breeders’ Cup Mile, are the finalists for Horse of the Year. So, you can start the debate right now as to who should win the biggest prize.
